Wedding Requirements

Prior Arrangements

The laws of Barbados eliminate advance notice requirement allowing a marriage ceremony to take place as soon as a license is obtained.

Before visiting the Ministry of Home Affairs the following requirements should be met:

• A Marriage Officer (i.e. a Magistrate or Minister of Religion authorized to perform marriage ceremonies in Barbados) should consent to performing the ceremony.
• The Marriage Officer consenting to perform the ceremony should issue a letter to be presented at the time of filing the application for Marriage License.
• A non-resident Minister of Religion, who is requested to solemnize a marriage in Barbados, may be appointed as a temporary Marriage Officer in Barbados. The following documents should be presented to the Registration Department in order to effect this temporary status: -
• Ordination Certificate
• Letter from the Head of the Church certifying the Minister’s authority to perform such services.

Obtaining a Marriage License

One of the following documents should be presented, verifying identity:

• Valid Passport
• The original or certified copy of birth certificate
• Identification card

If married before and widowed, certified copies of the marriage and death certificates should be presented. If divorced, the original Decree Absolute or a certified copy of the Final Judgment. Please note, the Decree Nisi is not accepted.

Note

All documents presented to the Ministry of Home Affairs in a language other than English, must be accompanied by a translation certified by an authorized Notary Public - NOT A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.

Minors

Persons under age 16 years cannot be legally married in Barbados. Therefore, persons between the ages of 16 and 18 years require the consent of both parents who must be present at the time of application. Failing this, a Judge in Barbados, on making application to him, may exercise his discretion to dispense with consent.
